The averaging options allow you to limit the averaging of results to only a group of elements that are considered to be
bound by same feature angle or face.
The Free Body Diagram (FBD) tool facilitates the extraction and post-processing of Grid Point Force (GPFORCE) results
and can be used create and edit Free Body Diagrams (FBD).
Stress linearization, a widely used procedure in the Oil and Gas and ship-building industries, is used to analyze stresses
in a structure, such as a pressure vessel.
A result manipulation library that enables user-defined data types to be added to a result, and transitions complex data
manipulation tasks from HyperView to a reusable, modifiable set of libraries that focus solely on result processing tasks.
The list of available operators is controlled by the template file selected when loading a model and result, and it can
be modified by adding or removing <using /> statements in the template.
The fatigue manager allows you to write stress and strain results from a finite element analysis to an external file that
can be used to set up a fatigue analysis.
The fatigue configuration file is a user-defined external ASCII-file through which the data groups from results of static/modal/transient analysis of different solvers can be read.
A result manipulation library that enables user-defined data types to be added to a result, and transitions complex data
manipulation tasks from HyperView to a reusable, modifiable set of libraries that focus solely on result processing tasks.
When an argument is passed as a constant, it is converted to a constant value table by
the Expression Builder.
In order to do so, the argument must meet the following requirements:
The argument is a value table.
The argument is of a specific format (scalar, vector, or tensor).
The argument is bound to a specific entity type.
Operators that accept general value types will not accept constant value arguments.
Examples of operators that fail to meet these criteria are unary operators in the Math
Library (which accept scalar, vector, or tensor types, bound to any entity type). These
restrictions are necessary in order to create a constant value table.
The composite failure theory example below requires five material-bound scalar value tables
in order to function (Xt, Xc, Yt, Yc, and S).
These tables define the allowable stresses in tension, compression, and shear along the
fiber X and Y directions for a given material, and are passed to the Hill Failure Theory
operator below as scalar tables from resource #4 (default arguments not shown):
In cases where tables are not available for an operation and a constant value would
suffice, value tables can be replaced with constants. For the example above, the operator
HillFT could be called as follows (default values not shown):
